MAC Meetings

MAC Meetings

Members meet four times a year. Meetings feature invited speakers. Each meeting includes an opportunity for members to update others about progress with their task forces. MAC meetings promote vigorous discussion and positive interactions, and the animals benefit as a result.

Upcoming meeting: September 26

The topics for this meeting will deal with communication: with each other, the public, the media, board members, elected officials, and more. While we work with animals, we know that what we do involves dealing with people just as much. This day will give us all some more tools to make us better at it!

Participants will learn about “savvy socializing” from Merrilyn Lewis. She will demonstrate how to start and hold productive conversations, ask questions that further the discussion in a meaningful way, join a conversation in progress, leave gracefully and when and how to follow up. This workshop received rave reviews at the New England Federation of Humane Societies Conference.

Brian Adams, Senior Manager, Media and Community Relations at the MSPCA-Angell, will discuss promoting the mission of humane organizations, as well as specific animals through the media. He will also discuss raising awareness of the adoptable animals and for the special events that help fund this work. The discussion will also touch upon newer forms of marketing and promotion, including social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter, and give examples about how the MSPCA-Angell has used these tools to promote the non-profit’s programs and services.

The meeting will start at approximately 9am and run to about 1pm.
